I would assume that the same powers that caused the words to drop also caused the ground to collapse beneath her. Doing the whole symbolical lowering of her and such. So she'd be talking to whoever did that. I'd say it's the Patriarchy, given that the words dropping has usually been (implicitly, at least) attributed to them (it?).

This seems off to me because I've seen such outbursts of unfiltered euphoria more often from females, due to how they weren't taught to suppress their emotions and all that.

ah, but just because one is female does not mean one is a _lady_. ladies are well-mannered and quiet and most definitely suppress their emotions. they don't do unfiltered _anything_._________________aka: neverscared!

Pride comes before a fall. Some people take it a bit more literally than others, however =P

Now... does her fall constitute the metaphorical representation of women not being allowed to think well of themselves (not even in relation to feminism or anything, but the self-inflicted aspects as well), or is it a broader stroke of simply stating that hell would love to drag anyone in that isn't obsessed with their morality? Could be instead a reflection upon writers and artists in general, where it's often suggested that you have to be depressed to be a truly great artist/writer?

Such an open question, with so many possibilities I haven't even suggested.

Of course, looking at this board, and it's standard blinders as default equipment you get handed when you join, I suppose everyone will assume "patriarchy!", as that seems to be the only topic anyone can talk about as of late, but I think there's a lot more depth to it than that, and it would be an injustice to limit it to just that singular, limited interpretation when it can cover so many others. =P

Seriously? We get a visual depiction of the patriarchy in "The Patrix" view, which has meant nothing else but Patriarchy the entire time it's been used, and you think you sound -smart- by calling those who interpret along those explicitly-depicted lines blindered?

Bahahahahahahahahaha!

I'm not debating that it's related to the patriarchy; I'm simply stating that it can exist on more than one level =P

Tat's shown himself to be quite the adept writer at times, practically a poet in terms of being able to weave multiple meanings into a single line of dialogue. To limit it to *JUST* the most obvious, is to discredit him ^.~

Maybe try to bring that thought up without insulting everyone you're talking to next time, hmm? Might get taken a bit more seriously.

Other people have tried to dilute the patrarchy matrix text so they can derail and say, "Look, Tat's not actually talking about the patriarchy! He's talking about universal themes." But the text began when Sinfest started covering feminist themes, and it displays things about gender roles and those who enforce them.

There are other subtle power structures and nuanced roles people are forced into, so the matrix-style text could talk about those things. But Tat is talking about feminism, full stop._________________::crisis mode::

Of course he's talking about the patriarchy in the foreground, but I still think he can be talking about other stuff as well at the same time =P

In the past, he's shown himself fully capable of layering in multiple concepts, such as pretty much every one of the calligraphy comics ever.

I just feel it's a disservice to look solely at the surface and not even bother to check past that point. He's a better writer than that from what I've seen.

Now, the patriarchy is obviously the most important aspect, hence why it's on the surface and the most blatantly obvious.

I don't honestly believe it's "full stop" after that point, is all. It's the biggest show, the main attraction, the point that is the one he wants to stress to it's fullest, but not the only possible interpretation by any means.

If Tat were a typical writer who preferred to stick to only a single topic at a time, never interwove various concepts, never tried to provoke discussion or thought in his works? Yeah, I'd buy into it just being "full stop". I just can't see it being that simple in context of who's writing it is all, especially when it's just dripping with alternate additions.
